MDK 9.1 Boot problem on PPC 9600
Hello, I have installed MDK 9,1 on my PPC 9600. It has a scsi 4GB HD and scsi CD-ROM with PCI ATA-100 control which has a 20GB IDE HD attached. I have installed the root '/' on the scsi hd with a 3GB partition '/dev/sda7'. There is a 1GB partition for mac os 9. The 20GB ide hd has been setup for '/home' I have setup BootX with the following settings: Kernel: vmlinuz-2.4.21-0.13mdk ramdisk: initrd-2.4.21-0.13mdk.img arguments: root=/dev/sda7 devfs=mount When MKD boots, the scsi drives are found with the mesh driver. However the Kernel ends in a panic. Here is the output: Mounting /proc filesystem Creating root device Mounting root filesystem with flags noatime mount: error 6 mounting ext3 flags noatime well, Retrying without the option flags mount: error 6 mounting ext3 well, Retrying read-only without the option flags mount: error 6 mounting ext3 pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed: 2 Remounting devfs at correct place if necessary Mounted devfs on /dev Freeing unused kernel memory: 160k init 4k chrp 8k prep Kernel panic: No init found.

You're not alone (: I build some packages locally, so my ppc box is pretty close to cooker/i586. If someone knows how I can automatically remove old RPMs and SRPMs I may be able to generate a hdlist for this and make it available over http and/or ftp. It's not a complete set of packages, however - only packages I use (so no kde for example). Christiaan

Add to this cooker had lot of issue with rpm, the requires/provides naming about devel changed, so lot of devel package was not installable without --no-deps. During i586 was rebuild to fix, my powerbook was with me on rmll (in Metz). Some package failed on build, but instead silently failed, process enter in a freeze mode and never terminate. I have to check if the powerbook is still working, if not, killing the process, imagine this happend the evening, all the night is waste. Normally, he is building 24 hours a day. Things will be better now I hope, cooker will be freeze soon. -- Linux pour Mac !? Enfin le moyen de transformer une pomme en véritable ordinateur. - JL.

There is a group of community people that are overseeing the builds for the alternate architectures. Your best bet would be to get in touch with them and see where you can help.

Build Evolution 1.4.3
Anyone had more success that me to build evolution 1.4.3 for the ppc ? I did it for the 1.3 version but I'm cursed by the POP3-server-seurity-bug (sympatico) so I need the 1.4.3 but so far not so good. (sorry, english is not my first nature) 8-) P.

This means if you uncleanly shutdown and it is in the middle of writing to the disk you'll have file system corruption.
